Our approach
The practice offers a range of evidence-based therapy approaches tailored to each child's needs, including cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, play therapy, and positive behaviour support. Practitioners work with children and families in a warm, non-judgmental manner, building trusting relationships and using a strengths-based approach that taps into each child's natural resilience. Sessions are flexible and use a variety of mediums and resources to help children engage and get the most from therapy. The practice is committed to helping families feel cared for, unique and understood as they navigate challenging times.
Working with families
The practice is deeply committed to involving families in treatment, with practitioners working to strengthen the family system and enhance parent wellbeing and confidence. Practitioners work with parents at any stage of parenthood to build understanding, coping skills, and capacity to tune-in and connect with their child's emotional and developmental needs. Consultation with parents, school staff and other professionals is offered to provide advice and strategies for supporting each child. The practice recognises that strengthening parental capacity often has the most meaningful impact on a child's development and resilience.
